• Software development is subsidiary• Even Hardware programming is hardly considered

development (Most S/W Engineering considerations are

not applied)• Curriculums lack many important – CS – subjects

• Supposed to be the same• Actually it is not• Originally founded to compensate for the absence of FCI’s• Mathematical background is dominating• Specialization only in the last year• Curriculums lack many important – CS – subjects
